A battery latching mechanism comprising a rigid finger extending downwardly from the lower end of the transceiver I housing which mates with a notch in the battery housing. On the opposite side of the transceiver housing is a spring biased button member. Curved posts with camming surfaces are mounted on the battery housing to mate with the button member. Terminals and mating contacts are located on the battery and transceiver housings respectively.
6 Claims, 6 Drawing Figures PATENTEU APR 1 7197s BATTERY LATCI-IING MECHANISM This application relates generally to portable trans ceivers and more specifically to latching mechanisms for providing a quick release of the battery housing for such portable transceivers.
Transceiver devices are well-known and in wide spread use today both in commercial and private use.
The transceivers generally in private use have nonrechar geable batteries therein and are not provided with a battery designed for quick replacement so that the device may be used constantly over a 24 hour period.
On the other hand, commercial transceiver devices are built with a much more rugged construction and more precise channel selection because of the extremely rough and continuous use to which they are subjected. Additionally, the only practical means for providing energy to these commercial devices is to use rechargeable battery elements. The reason for this is that the individual transceivers are relatively expensive and it is desirable to obtain the maximum usage with each unit. Therefore, if the company using a large number of transceivers also has a compatible battery recharger, fresh batteries are available at all times when needed. Normally, the transceiver and associated rechargeable battery will operate for approximately an 8 hour period which matches the normal work shift for the personnel using the device. At a change qf shift, the oncoming worker merely removes the rechargeable battery, places it in the battery chaRger and removes a fully charged battery from the battery charger for use with the transceiver.
The above is standard procedure in large operations today. Most of the transceivers in use today have a battery contained in a housing which. mates with the housing of the transceiver and is secured thereto by means such as a screw or the like. Securing devices such as screws require either a tool such as a screwdriver or at the very least a coin. Often times the battery is so tightly secured that a coin will not operate satisfactorily. Additionally, a certain amount of time is wasted by not being able to quickly remove and replace the battery. Further, the lack of convenience may often result in the oncoming shift avoiding a battery change with the resultant failure of the radio at an inopportune time.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a transceiver with an easily removable battery housing.
A further object of the invention is to provide a removable battery housing for a transceiver which is unlatched by merely pressing a spring loaded button and rotating the battery casing whereby it drops away from the transceiver unit.
These and other objects of the invention will become apparent from the following description when taken in conjunction with the drawings wherein FIG. 1 is a perspective view of one type of transceiver used with the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a bottom view of the transceiver housing with the battery removed;
FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken through the lines 3- 3 of FIG. 2;
FIG. 4 is a plan view of the top of the battery houss;
FIG. 5 is a partial sectional view of one upper end of the battery housing; and
FIG. 6 is an exploded view illustrating the relative position for attachment and removal of the battery housing from the transceiver housing.
Broadly speaking, the present invention relates to a transceiver radio unit which includes a battery housed in a separate unit which is removably attached to the transceiver by a device which comprises a rigid finger means extending downwardly from one side of the transceiver housing and a spring biased button mean opposite the finger means also at the lower side of the transceiver housing. The battery housing has a groove means within one side thereof which mates with and receives the rigid .finger means. The opposite side of the battery housing has a camming means extending upwardly and outwardly for moving and mating with the button means whereby the device is secured to the housing and may be released therefrom by depressing the button means to overcome the spring bias means and release the camming and mating device. The mating end of the battery housing has terminals which match with contact means at the mating end of the transceiver housing.
Turning now more specifically to the drawings, there is shown in FIG. 1 a transceiver housing 11 having an on-off switch knob 13 and a squelch knob 15. The standard transceiver also includes a channel selector switch 17, an antenna 19, aspeaker 21 and a push-to-talk switch 23.
Arechargeable battery housing 25 is secured to the transceiver housing by means which will be described in connection with FIGS. 2-6.
FIG. 2 illustrates the lower end or bottom of the transceiver housing 11 which includeselectrical contacts 27 for mating with theterminals 59 on the battery housing.
Extending downwardly from one side of the transceiver housing 11 is arigid finger member 29 havingrods 31 and 33 extending outwardly from either side thereof. I .At the opposite side of the lower end of the transceiver housing 11 there is aflange 35 extending downwardly from the receiver housing. This flangeforms an integral L-shaped member having one leg extending along the inner face of thelower part of. the transceiver housing. This leg includes twoouter sections 37 and 39 which form channels such as shown at 47 in FIG. 6.
A rigid L-shaped button 45 has aslot 41 which passes overpost 43 extending upwardly from theleg 35.
Aspring member 51 is located across and within thechannels 41 so as to bias thebutton member 45 outwardly.
The L-shaped button member also haschannel 53. and 55 extending along one face thereof with the channels terminating in aninclined surface 57 as shown more clearly in FIG. 3.
Turning now to FIGS. 4 and 5, it will be seen that the battery housing is provided with anotch 61 which isof a dimension to accept therigid finger 29 of the trans ceiver housing.
Extending outwardly from the notch and within the faces of thenotch 61 aregrooves posts 31 and 33 extending outwardly from therigid finger 29.
It will be seen that when it is desired to connect the battery housing to the transceiver housing it is tilted at an angle thereto, as shown in FIG. 6, whereby therigid finger 29 passes into thenotch 61 and theposts 31 and 33 are nested within thegrooves
Thebattery housing 25 is then rotated so as to come into contact with the transceiver housing 11 whereby thecamming edges 73 of the posts 69 and 71 bear against theinclined surface 57 of thechannels button member 45 against the spring bias and allow the upper part of the posts to pass beyond theinclined face 57. As these posts pass beyond the inclined face, the spring bias again moves the button outwardly and the battery is firmly locked in place by the action between the button member and the posts 69 and 71.
When the battery is to be removed from the transceiver housing, it is merely necessary to depress thebutton 45 by means of theserrated face 49 so as to overcome the bias spring and release the post members 69 and 71 from retention by the button member. The battery housing is then rotated approximately 45 whereby therods 31 and 33 may be slipped outwardly from therooves
It is to be understood that the above description and drawings are illustrative only and that the scope of this invention is limited only by the following claims.
